Seriously, JJ just took few steps forward and then they are pulled back by Ekta's regular soap TRP generator indecent plots. We all know the mist will clear out and sun will shine again. But, during all this do the CVs realize how much the characters are losing their grace and dignity. I am all okay with JJ not trusting each other and going few steps backwards. But, what left a bad taste was the kind of blame each one had to withstand and show a happy face in the public. It was very dramatic when JJ had to take blessings and oaths, when all they felt was betrayal. I just couldn't take it...
Lets see the damage this track has done on the characters:
1. Jodha puts molestation/rape charges on Shenshah
2. Jalal blames Jodha for ExtraMarital affair
3. Ruqu/Jalal lose lifelong friendship, Ruqu blames Jalal for lying to her
4. Angel like Hamida blames Jodha for ExtraMarital affair
5. Entire sultanat (MA rumour) ridicules the JaJo relationsip
It might be best to skip the episodes till this issue is resolved. As I am not able to take the way they are building up the drama to show more of atyachaar on Jodha, as if it wasn't enough during MC.
The other biggest injustice done by CVs is the characterization of Jodha. She is constantly shown as the weeping Meena Kumari tragedy queen, complaining to Kanha and Moti about her misfortune. I understand that she had to go through some hardships in Agra, but generally every girl does when she goes to her husbands house. She has an angel like MIL and sister like Salima begum, then her husband who supports her through so many accusations. Yet, we find her mope, crib like a helpless gal. Is she really a rajputana, a princess CVs? Jodha shows her temper and braveness when it is not needed in front of Jalal. But in crisis like this all she can do is cry, shed bucket full of tears.
Jalal very sternly and firmly states that he is not responsible for the pregnancy. He goes on to accuse her of getting involved with another man as he kept his word. Jalal is sick and tired of hearing the rajvanshi aan/baan/shaan, its a constant attack on his mughal origin. Jodha rightfully admitted that she wouldnt even allow her shadow to be touched by any man. Both are right in their stance and in the betrayal they are feeling. The biggest clue to Jodha is that Jalal is NOT happy about her giving the waris, she knows he loves kids and has seen his excitement when Ruqu was expecting. He cant hate her so much that he does not even desire a waris from her, but our Jodha is not there yet. Indirect clue to Jalal, if Jodha is taking revenge then why is she not admitting it and showing happiness in being successful. She is mad with rage and even showed her panja. This indirect clue will be taken by Jalal and he will start the investigation to find the other culprit responsible for the pregnancy. Atleast he is doing that much rather than announcing the punishment. Shouldn't Jodha have been shown to digest what Jalal told her? She had admitted to her family that Jalal is 'zubaan ka pucca' and she got a confirmation of it again from Jalal that he did not break that promise. Then why no doubt is shown in Jodha's head by CVs? Instead she plays the same broken record again in front of Moti. I wish for a change we saw a clever strong Jodha who pulled herself out of this misery rather than get absorbed in it. I just find it harder and harder to accept that Jalal falls for the current Jodha who is shown so weak.
I felt the mysterious woman might have been the Khwaja lady herself. May be she was bribed by SD to add something that gives Jodha pregnancy like symptoms for enough time so that Jalal is convinced and kicks her out. It does look like Rahim will drink the milk and have similar symptoms, poor boy. Hopefully Salima will chat with Jalal about this and wola Jalal will solve the puzzle on non-existing pregnancy. But, will SD get caught? Ofcourse not, CVs need many such villains to keep giving us crappy tracks.
